concert reviews & Mike Patton shrine

“We’re coming back to where we were with our first album,” bassist-producer Bill Gould says of 10-track LP

“Hypnotic and gothic, we’re coming back to where we were with our first album,” the bassist offered, citing Siouxsie and the Banshees and Roxy Music as early influences. “Then Patton’s being Patton, crooning, screaming, with a bit of soul underneath it all. We’ve always taken strange influences and smashed them together.”
